COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Approve the Proposed Expenditure Program for Lodi's Share of the 2010 Edward
Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)
MEETING DATE: July 7,2010
PREPARED BY: Captain Gary Benincasa, Interim Chief of Police
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the proposed expenditure program for Lodi's share of the
2010 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program
provides funding for states and local governments to support a
broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and to improve
the criminal justice system. JAG replaces the Byrne Formula and
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) programs with a
single funding mechanism that simplifies the administration process
for grantees.
JAG funds are allocated based on a community's population and crime statistics, in combination with a
minimum allocation to ensure that each state and territory receives an appropriate share. Lodi is eligible
in 2010 to receive $26,577 in JAG grant funding. The grant application and requirements were met prior
to the June 30, 2010 deadline. The grant process requires the City Council to authorize the acceptance
of funds and approve the proposed expenditures for the City of Lodi.
It is proposedthat the funding be used to support technology and equipment:
• OSSI hardware, software, and equipment upgrades $15,000
• Computer equipment replacement and upgrades $11,577
$26,577
FISCAL IMPACT: This is one-time revenue. Without the grant, the proposed expenditures otherwise
would come from the General Fund.
